Short appetizer

Just to give a short impression of what it is we do we uploaded these two videos of our favorite thing to do; blowing stuff up. As mentioned in the first post these 2 clips are shot with a Sony Ericsson K800i, so the quality is not that high, but you should still be able to see what is going on...

In this first movie Mik and Jam set up for a small test of what it would look like to blow up a ½L nitrogen bomb under water. There are actually two bottles in the lake, but one of them is only used as a sinker to keep the bomb under the surface. Eventually, when the bottle containing the nitrogen began to swell it surfaced and only 2/3 of the bomb was under the surface at the time of the explosion, but it still had a great effect:



With this second test we wanted to find out which effect a nitrogen bomb would have buried in sand. The first thing we did was to bury a bomb about 1m in sand, but that wasn't exactly succesful, succes being a huge explosion that is. Then we tried to have the bottle buried right to the neck and that was much closer to what we wanted, and ofcourse we got it on film. The clip has been edited, on the k800i, in Danish and the text roughly says; "Nitrogen bomb in sand", "3 minutes later" and "Sand in the eye, NICE":



We hope you had fun watching these clips and we'll be back soon with more clips and theory about all the fun things we can do with physics...
